USURF America Announces Relocation to Denver |
|
Move Expected to Help Company Speed Deployment of Its Quick-Cell(TM) Wireless Broadband Technology in New Markets |
|
|
|
DENVER, June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- USURF America, Inc. (Amex: UAX) the developer of Quick-Cell(TM) a family of Wi-Fi-standard broadband fixed-wireless high-speed Internet access products, announced today that in conjunction with its stepped-up expansion plans, it has moved its corporate offices from Baton Rouge, La., to Denver. |
|
"The transfer of USURF corporate headquarters is one of the first steps in our overall plan to dramatically expand operations and boost revenues over the coming months," says Doug McKinnon, President and CEO of USURF America, Inc. "Denver was an obvious choice for us due to its critical mass of under-utilized talent, the untapped opportunity the region holds for our product offerings and its proximity to the right kind of investment capital, all of which are key components for USURF's continued growth. The city has a long history as the telecommunications capital of the West, as well as a center of innovation and convergence for new services, such as the type of cutting edge wireless broadband that we provide. We feel that by locating offices here, we can launch our services to new communities much more efficiently, while continuing to attract investment capital." |
|
Denver was also chosen by the company because of the close proximity of several mature partner channels USURF is already in the process of developing. One of those partners is SunWest Communications, Inc., which USURF recently signed a three-year exclusive revenue sharing agreement to provide its Quick-Cell(TM) broadband wireless Internet access services. SunWest will market these services to its 6,000 existing telephone customers as well as to new customers throughout the Greater Colorado Springs area. |
|
"Our main objective right now is to speed up the deployment of our Quick-Cell(TM) product in lucrative new markets. By establishing a strong presence in Denver, we should immediately begin making progress toward adding new shareholder value," adds McKinnon. |
|
USURF will initially employ a few specialists in business development and sales and marketing in its new Denver office. USURF will also continue some engineering development in Baton Rouge, where the Company was founded. USURF's new headquarters are located at 3333 S. Bannock, Suite 790, Englewood, Colo., 80110. |
